Hi All,

Hope you like our new home!

Thanks Vikks and C1ndy Am massively excited. He proposed at the top of monument, in the rain, knelt in a puddle Then we went off and met his brother and wife - who is my best mate!! And we went vinopolis and Goucho. Have had a fab weekend. I will put a pic on my profile of us and the ring . Yep, should be next June. Already have guest list sorted. A venue on hold, and bridesmaids booked in! Hehe. I love to organise! Will deffo let you all know how i am doing. Want to hear how you are all doing too!

Hi Girls
I need advice. So I started clomid July 14th. I didn't wait for my period to start because I never get my periods. They are very random, and my Dr told me not to wait, just to start.
So I took the 5 pills 50mg. DH and I went to work for a week straight, and today July 28th AF arrived. Last night when DH and I were bding it was a bit painful, and now today here is AF in all her fury.
I can't get into my gyno until August 17th and really don't want to waste a month if I don't have to. So I'm wondering what you ladies would do if you were me......should I begin a second dose of clomid for the next 5 days. And if so what days of your period do you start taking it. (having never started the first round on my cycle I don't know what days to take it)Sorry for the novel, but I know you ladies have been through it ALL, and may be able to offer me some advice
hugs to all xoxoxox

Wishinanhopin ? The usual days to take Clomid are 2-6 of your cycle, if I were you I?d ring the Docs tomorrow and get them to give you the go ahead. I can?t see them telling you to wait another month, but ask them to be sure. I can?t believe your Doc didn?t tell you what to do in this eventuality, starting Clomid when you?re not sure about your cycle the chances are you?ll have AF before you can ovulate.
It?s a good thing, you?ve got a fresh new cycle to work on and you?ll have a better idea of when you?re ovulating. Clomid will shorten you cycle too, so you don?t have to wait as long. Good Luck!

I am sympton spotting but know deep inside that I am not pg... I have loads of creamy EWCM and I think when I press my boobs they are slightly tender... but may be I have been pressing them too much Every now and again I feel a little twitch below but that could be an upset stomach. Oh well roll on AF... still another week and a half to go.

Kittycat it sounds very exciting! I remember planning my wedding, i had a fab time...would like to get married again but without all the cost!!

Good luck with the bloods Only.

I've got another faint line today ....

along with burning indigestion, 4 days of brown discharge, bad, bad tiredness at about 5pm and my DH reckons darker nipples and bigger norks.

I'm v, v confused now!

In what time did the line appear daisy

you know, a positive line is a positive...

The nurse didnt take bloods, as she didnt want to "be troubled" with that... made me do a usine test, which was a BFN

I did point out i'd done loads of first responce tests. Stupid ffffffing nurse

oh kitty - that is fabulous!

An update from me. I had my appt with my pcos specialist which I have annually. He is a different doctor at a different hospital to the fertility specialist my GP referred me to who I saw earlier this year.

The pcos doctor is also a fertility expert too and based at a much better hospital (UCH). He has ordered all the tests, said DH sperm seem to be okay (not brilliant, but not awful and certainly good enough to make a baby one way or another) and that I appear to ovulate. He's ordered bloods and a scan and the hysterogram dye text for me and that will all take place within the next three months before I see him again. Then in December providing I lose a stone and a half (and boy what an incentive...) he'll start me on clomid with proper monitoring.

So I am now under his care for fertility as well and feel so much calmer and happier and like it is all in hand, especially as he said he hopes to have me pregnant by January!

And I feel that now it is all in hand I need a bit of a break from the obsessing I do on Mumsnet and as I am about to have a long holiday and not be online for about three weeks, it seems a good time to try to do that now, as I'd like to try to forget about conceiving for a bit and let all the tests happen. I mean obv we will carry on trying, but I don't want to think about it every day the way I do when I check this thread several times a day.

But wanted to say how much of a help you've all been and I will come back and say hello and follow you all with interest and hope we see each other on an ante natal thread sometime. MN has been such a great support but I think I need some time off a regular thread now.

xxxxxxxxxx

The very faint line appeared within 10 minutes - prob saw it at about 5 minutes.

I'm too scared to believe it; if it's wrong I'll be very disappointed.

Bloody irritating nurse Only - surely she should have done what the doc said she should. What did she suggest happens now?

wait another 2 weeks to see if AF arrives, I know Im not PG now - i've done too many tests. DP home tomorrow, and it's my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!

Yellow okay, you take care. Will miss you but good luck, I totally understand. I may just monitor my FF and pop in here once in a while as I am getting a little obsessive with posting and am sure its not helping me to relax. It sounds positive for a January pg, I will keep everything crossed for you and hope that I will be pg too by then and then we can share thoughts.

Take care!
Cindy

daisydotandgertie sounds exciting.... go to the doctor to get your HCG levels confirmed.

Iggy Jools where have you gone?

OnlyWantsOne - Happy Birthday x

yellowflowers - Good luck and have a lovely holiday x

thanks cindy - will search for your names every so often to track your progress - same for rest of you. xx

Hi girls,

Thought I would drop in to give you an update. I had my 12 week scan yesterday and everything looks great. saw the little critter jumping around and have a low downs risk. Dr even gave a prediction of %60 boy!

Part of coming back here to give you hope that it will happen!!! I was on this blog for quite some time and had been trying for 2 years. Using all the gimmicks, pre seed etc. Only bd twice, ran out of pre seed and and was ill with strep throat the month i conceived. I thought it was never going to happen and still cant quite believe that i am at this point today! Please dont give up hope, sending lots of babydust your way!!!

Hi yellow, sounds like an excellent plan to get away for a while. best of luck for you and hope to see some good news from you soon!!!!!!

take care ladies, be good to yourselves and be happy

LovelyMonster Hi there, oh I am so happY for you! thank you for your kind words. I am going to take a little break I guess from posting for a while... other pg ladies are on www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/633845-GFJ-drinkers-anonymous?pg=36

If you want to keep in touch with them. I am sure I will join you all soon

Onlywantsone Sorry Happy Birthday!!

DaisyDot Any further news??

Onlywantsone - a belated Happy Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day.

I haven't got much concrete news really - still having vague spotting, still questionable results on HPT sticks; vague line one day, and nothing the next.

I'm on CD 55 now and if I'm honest, know I can't be pg; I'd have had a clear positive by now.

I did ring NHS Direct about it yesterday though and spoke to a lovely nurse who'd been a midwife for over 20 years. She asked me about symptoms - ie are you weeing more? Are your boobs OK? Are you more tearful than normal?

I am weeing more frequently than normal - and waking in the night because I need to. My boobs feel like barage balloons (which is v scary because they're a G cup to start with!) - it feels as though someone's been at them with a bicycle pump and some very stupid things are making me weep.

Once I'd answered her questions, she said that they didn't used to have such sophisticated tests for PG, and they went on a missing period, and the boob, wee and tear questions.

From this, she said it sounded a lot as though I am pg, and it is possible that I am one of the few who don't make HCG in urine.

She suggested an urgent trip to the doc, especially in view of my age, to check that everything is in order; to have a blood test and ask for an immediate referral to an EPU.

A bit overwhelming really, when I'm so sure I can't possibly be up the pole. I only rang NHS Direct to check I wouldn't be wasting the docs time if I went along with my concerns!

I'm seeing the doc on Monday afternoon.

C1NDY It'd be a shame if you stopped posting, although I really do understand the worry of obsession. Maybe we should start a new thread, somewhere else which focusses on other stuff. A Ladies who are relaxing, drinking wine and enjoying long lunches sort of thread ... The other aspects of life!

DaisyDo See I can't be away for too long... I am a little obsessive but I will still be in and out of here. I just have to stop posting all the time. I am on the 2ww and so wish that I get that bfp even with just bding once!!! But next month will be my month, I am sure of it. I am in a funny mood right now... upset and not feeling great so I am in my up and down moods right now.... I know I will kick out of it soon. I always get like this when AF is coming around the corner then I am so full of positive words!

Any how... what a journey for you... hope you find out for sure if your pg or not, it is a concern. Especially when you said you had a faint line... lets hope you get that answer soon, can you not see the doctor earlier?

hey ladies, I am just wondering has anyone tried pre-seed??? i have ordered some and hope it works!

I also had bloods taken that came back with my full hormone profile being excellent condition to conceive, but she has still refered me to fertility clinic, its cycle 8 of ttc for me, but i told her its been over a year.

any ideas what tests the fertility clinic will give me? and has anyone been given clomid even though their bloods come back normal and they seem to be ov-ing?

Mickbell Hi Mickbell, I am a user of pre-seed.. its a fabulous product which create a safe environment for sperm to live longer... if you are lacking in EWCM then this product produces it for you. I find it also useful for when you don't have time to build up to the moment of bd and just need to get the bding done... (sorry for TMI).. I only use a small amount, as I know the tube says to use a certain amount but I just use it for comfort. The closest product to CM otherwise I am told you can use egg whites but due to somenella (is that the spelling) I have chosen not to use it. The pre-seed nourishes the sperm which can help them to live longer. I got pg from the first time using it but MC at 9 weeks!

Mickbell I don't know much about the tests... but will have them done if next time I am not sucessful! I am sure one of the ladies can help you on here.

Thanks for the advice C1NDY I hope it works, will let you know!

Mickbell ? Hi, I?ve had plenty of tests done at my fertility clinic, thought I might be able to shed some light on the sort of things you might have done. First thing they did to me was lots of blood tests; rubella, STD?s, etc. and DH had to make a deposit. After we got the all clear on them, had a few scans internal and external.
I?m not sure if the Doc will give you Clomid if you are ovulating, I was given it because I wasn?t. I think your referral is just standard because you?ve been trying over a year. DH and I went after a year, tried NHS for six months and now we?ve been private for a year; just trying to speed things up. Hope that helps put your mind at ease.

Morning Ladies - I had a very lovely birthday - DP has been wonderful and it's lovely to have him home.

AF started with an evilness on day 40 but never mind - as now I know where I am again. DP and I are very cool about it now, we are not going to get silly - timing wouldnt be perfect right now.

Glad you are all well, daisy do you feel ok? My doc was flippin useless - make sure you get what you ask for.

rightyoooo Im going to get DD swimming stuff ready - have a LOVELY weekend.

OWO
